Prior to 10.2.1 and 11.1.3, archive extraction can create files and links outside the target directory. When extracting an archive to a directory, a crafted archive can read or write files outside that directory because hardlink and symlink entries are created without checking where targets point, path containment used a string prefix comparison, and file modes failed to remove setuid, setgid, or sticky bits. This issue is fixed in @xhmikosr/decompress versions 10.2.1 and 11.1.3.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","score":9.1},"cwes":["CWE-22","CWE-59","CWE-732"],"references":["https://github.com/XhmikosR/decompress/commit/281cefa00cd4275c10479bc5f1abba6b14dee8bd","https://github.com/XhmikosR/decompress/commit/60b5299402e72b0b53ca2e55222e9a1ccb44afae","https://github.com/XhmikosR/decompress/commit/9fcda4b0a66ca22dc8d337f9b0e7c30293c5fb89","https://github.com/XhmikosR/decompress/commit/aca5aac415dc04a6fae5200e51368cff436a09dd","https://github.com/XhmikosR/decompress/releases/tag/v10.2.1"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-25T17:50:06.907763985+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-53486","score":0.00749,"percentile":0.54641,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-mp2f-45pm-3cg9","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-mp2f-45pm-3cg9","summary":"Decompress: Archive extraction can create files and links outside of the target directory","modified":"2026-09-10T03:50:12.302218818Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"@xhmikosr/decompress","purl":"pkg:npm/%40xhmikosr/decompress","ranges":["<10.2.1"],"fixed":["10.2.1"]},{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"@xhmikosr/decompress","purl":"pkg:npm/%40xhmikosr/decompress","ranges":[">=11.0.0 <11.1.3"],"fixed":["11.1.3"]},{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"decompress","purl":"pkg:npm/decompress","ranges":["<=4.2.1"],"fixed":[]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
